Nominal Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 What sort of fuelling are you running - carbs, efi flavour??? Need more info. Initial thoughts are over-fuelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC_HATER Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 It is a GEU yeah? Is the AFM plugged in firmly? they tend to go full pig rich as a sort of failsafe when the ECU cant see the AFM Also even try running it with the AFM unplugged if it is plugged in, a stuffed AFM can also make it go mental rich for no reason, or even if you want to check the flapper inside the AFM and see that it moves freeley, and also springs back to its original position after moving it with your fingers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yeah giz more details. I assume it is injected. As people said, make sure afm flap is opening through its whole range. Also any idea of condition of the coolent temp sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 As others have said it sounds like it's running way too rich. Nothing helpful to add though. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Float level if carb, AFM stuck wide open or buggered if injected, these would be the best place to start. Good luck. Had one in an Avenger with twin twin choke Minkuni's as a lad, new diff every couple of weeks till I put a Holden V8 one in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
